Bill Tyzack was a very special, friendly man, known as ‘Mr Stanedge’ for his long membership at Stanedge, his full support of the club, and his hard work, including as club press officer, club secretary and club captain. Despite suffering a stroke later in life with paralysis of his right side, he taught himself to use his left hand and continued to put out his regular, humourous reports on life at Stanedge, including having his very last report published on the day of his funeral in 2011.

Fame Tate is now running Stanedge Golf Club and the Bistro, taking us forward to put us back on the map and open the club up to new members and old, along with the general public. As Fame put it, “I am trying to convey a message that we are open to the public, with a very relaxed atmosphere and ambience.  Naming the bar and Bistro after Bill seems the perfect fit and I feel strongly that it is important in retaining some of the club’s previous history and Bill’s memory, whilst driving the golf club forward.”
